On the road to 2020...

T-MOSAiC

​T-MOSAiC is an IASC pan-Arctic, land-based program that would extend the activities that are currently in advanced planning for the IASC flagship program MOSAiC: ‘The Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate’, MOSAiC is a multinational year-round study (2019-2020) of the central Arctic Ocean to measure the coupling between atmosphere, sea ice, ocean and ecosystem processes.

The objective of the satellite program T-MOSAiC is to coordinate complementary activities that will both aid and benefit from MOSAiC (especially the modelling components) by extending the work to the lands surrounding the Arctic Ocean and to the northern communities who live on those lands.

APECS just announced the results of the early career scientists applications to attend the T-MOSAiC workshop next December 10th in Ottawa.T-MOSAiC team are very happy to welcome Ivan Alekseev from Russia, Martin Jusek from Portugal, Sukung Chen from U.S.A. and Megan Sheremata, Bimochan Niraula and Veronica Cappolaro from Canada.Looking forward to see you all in Ottawa in our workshop.

T-MOSAiC at the Ny-Alesund Atmosphere workshop

Dr. Julia Boike, T-MOSAiC EXCOM and Steering Committee member, presented our program at the Ny-Alesund Atmosphere Flagship open workshop which took place between 15-19 October at AWI Potsdam, Germany. The T-MOSAiC presentation followed the presentation of MOSAiC-International Arctic Drift Expedition and MOSAiC-Activities of the Atmosphere team. It was discussed that it will beneficial for the Ny-Alesund community and (T)-MOSAiC to exchange and closer integrate.
